New restaurant down by Fall River’s waterfront expected to open soon

A new restaurant is headed to Fall River’s waterfront and is expected to open soon.

Work has been underway at Morgan’s Cantina which will add a new restaurant option down on Ferry Street.

In a September 2023 Licensing Board meeting, owner Michael Lund, who currently co-owns Pier 52 and the Tipsy Seagull with his wife Nicole and previously owned the Tipsy Toboggan, stated that this eatery will be different than the others with a second floor that overlooks the Braga Bridge and Mount Hope Bay on 1 Ferry Street. It will feature handmade authentic high-end Mexican cuisine and fresh craft cocktails, something ownership feels is lacking in this geographical area. The eatery will be open for brunch every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. with margarita mimosas, breakfast burritos, and more.

It is believed that Morgan’s Cantina will attract customers from across the area and beyond, including Boston.

Lund stated that the restaurant will seat 50-55 patrons and hire 30 full and part-time employees.

The building is located where an older shed used to sit on the left-hand side when you enter the marina. The property will include office space.

Nicole Lund will be the bar manager.

The hours of operation are expected to be 7 days a week from noon to 11:00 p.m. and will be open year-round.

According to their social media, after an initial plan to open in November of 2024, Morgan’s plans to open this spring.
